For this selection, I had to turn back through over 360 pages of TAPs which
represent the results of over 13 years of "subversive" work by several dozen
people. I have tried to reproduce it as accurately with possible since there
are a few diagrams. As for the format it was a four page booklet (the same
format that is still used 13 years later) -- It was typewritten except for the
larger print which was handwritten. Today, TAP looks a little more
professional than it did in its former days. Also, TAP has become extremely
"conservative" compared to the days of its youth when the newsletter was run
by anti-war/anti-government/anti-everything yippies. Now, onto issue #1.

THE YOUTH INTERNATIONAL PARTY LINE'S FIRST ISSUE
We at YIPL would
like to offer
thanks to
all you phreeks
out there. Most of you who are now
receiving this met us in Washington on Mayday,
where we distributed 10,000 promo flyers. So far
we have received over 50 responses, complete with
contributions, encouragement, and spirit. We may
not have done well percentage-wise, but the fact
that there are 50 people all over the country willing
to fight back speaks for itself. We are sure that from
the spirit of response, YIPL membership will really
skyrocket. However, more important than our numbers,
in our opinion, is the feeling and motivation for this
movement. The disappointment we feel toward Amerika has
turned to hatred as we saw the futility of the movement
to improve it, and to frustation as our outside efforts
were repressed and forbidden. But we did NOT turn our
backs on the movement for change. YIPL believes that
education alone cannot affect the System, but deucation
can be an ivaluable tool for those willing to use it.
Specifically, YIPL will show you why something must be
done immediately in regard, of course, to the improper
control of the communication in this country by none
other than the BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY.
So if your friends want to get in on the fun, let them
read your newsletter, and you might want to research your
own questions in your local library, and help to start the
education of your community of the phone company's part in the
war against the poor, the non-white, the non-conformist, and in
general, against the people. Show your neighbors, friends and the
representatives of your area how the Bell System and the Amerikan
government are co-conspirators. If your friendscan't subscribe to
YIPL, that; is cool, is convenient for our small staff, and is right on
if they can send a buck as a donation and read your newsletter. We also
need stamps, letters, and envelopes, which maybe they can get from their
office at work. Because we are already sending out issues to people short
on bread, we really do need this kind of help. We will report on all of our
finances from time to time, and if you can dig it, we will probably need some
kind of bail fund set up. If any YIPL busts happen, we'd like to ask you all
in advance to work extra hard for the cause. People, thanks again. Love
THE CREDIT CARD CODE
The 1971 Credit Card system works as follows: The telephone number (7 digits)
of the number to be billed is followed by the secret number for the area
code of the number. They are listed below for several cities. At the end
of the number comes a letter that matches the sixth digit of the telephone
number. Many people look up the number of a large Company in the area and
use their number, cause using any old number might lead to THAT person
refusing to pay, and the Phone Company's hasseling the person to whom the
call was placed. They should say that others use that phone, and they don't
know anything. Fraud is illegal, so WE don't think you should make free calls.
This Code has already been printed in many underground papers, as you know.

TECHNICAL INFOMRMATION
As long as you're paying a bill, the phone company will tend to let you be.
We all know that you might have extra phones you want connected as freebees.
Not Western Electric phones, of course. Remember, the phone company "frowns
upon" hooking them up yourself, so wwe suggest you have a friend do it.
On-hook voltage:45V
Off-hook voltage:4.5V Your telephone line is usually a red and a green
Ring pulses: 90V wire. A yellow is sometimes used for ringing. Un-
screw your storebought phone on the bottom and
you will find a box with a bunch of screws on it. Connecting as in the
phone will keep it a secret from "Them".

Ever wonder how those conference call makers that are sold on the commercial
market work? What they do is as follows:
